I don't know what all you cougars are insinuating about me (except the obviously sexist taunts), but if you are saying that I watch priesthood sesh OR that I read the ensign I take offense.

No more extra credit for having a penis...
http://kutv.com/news/local/leaked-do...ants-for-yearsLeaked documents show BYU favored male applicants for years
A document posted on the website Mormon Leaks shows during 2013 and 2014, BYU admissions gave preference to male applicants.
A BYU spokeswoman said in a statement the school no longer gives admissions preference based on gender.
A document titled, "New Freshman Index 2013-2014," shows that during that time, applicants to the university were scored on several factors to determine whether they'd be admitted to the school and male applicants were given an extra point.

For "years" - two years to be exact.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View Post
Interesting that this came so recently. Any chance this has a somewhat benign motive? Weren't female applicants outstripping males for a while? Maybe BYU wanted to push that back towards 50%. How many points are "possible" in an application anyway? What is the impact of 1 extra point? Are there any more questions I can ask in this one paragraph?Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Yeah, maybe BYU was worried there might be an uptick of lesbian activity or something if percentage of females got out of wack due to the lack of males on campus. Maybe the church should have just reinstated polygamy instead so that BYU would not be viewed as being sexist.Originally posted by falafel View Post"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

To be fair, blaming the "gay agenda" does seem to be a go to for the LDS church.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostAs I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

I think we need the extra credit, lately having a penis has been a real handicap for men like Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, etc.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostComment
